Keir Starmer says the NHS needs reform

It does...

It needs proper funding and less privatisation

RT if you agree #OurNHS 💙🩵

The UK is bottom of the league when it comes to European bathing water quality standards. 🤬

Shouldn't MPs be means tested before they can claim their heating bills on expenses, or does that logic apply only to poor pensioners?

The cost of winter fuel payments is £3bn a year. The profits of the big four gas supply giants in 2023 was £65bn. Just wondering if any awfully clever economists out there can see any possible solutions to this conundrum?

NEW PREPRINT! This one seems potentially very, VERY SIGNIFICANT!

This study found "significant reductions in measures of mitochondrial content and impaired muscle energetics" in LC fatigue—AND a corresponding biomarker!

@1goodtern 👋 LC for 20 months. Was getting a bit stronger, but had a RSV the last 3 weeks which has knocked me right back. UK.

Do train drivers deserve to earn £60,000 after overtime and working rest days? With me in the studio to discuss this are a £91,000 a year Tory MP, a £200,000 a year rightwing journalist and a chief executive on £4.2m.

@UWankings @UniversitiesUK @bphillipsonMP People seem to be focused on managerial issues; but this is policy, simple, straightforward (relatively!) and reversible.

[prof hilary robinson @ardmara]

@UWankings YES! Why are @UniversitiesUK and @bphillipsonMP not arguing for a reverse on lifting the cap on numbers? Surely the cheapest way to start addressing some of the damage.

These riots started in Parliament.

Rioters chant “stop the boats” and “we want our country back” - using language from politicians across the political spectrum.

It’s not enough to call out violence, politicians need to stop normalising hate. In policy and practice.
